Sana’a (GPA) – Yemen’s Army and Popular Committees repelled an advance from Saudi-backed mercenaries today in the province of Najran beyond the Saudi border.

Yemeni forces have increased their operations beyond the Saudi border in the provinces of Najran, Jizan, and Asir in response to the ongoing Saudi airstrikes and siege against Yemen.

Saudi planes carry out about sixty air raids on any given day. In the past week, dozens of civilians have lost their lives after attacks targeted homes and farms. In the past few hours, dozens of strikes targeted the Yemeni provinces of Sa’ada, Taiz, Midi, and more. Nine died today and four others wounded when attacks in Sa’ada province struck a market.

Tens of thousands have died from airstrikes and military operations alone– mostly women and children. Even more have died as a result of the blockade which restricts food, aid, and medical supplies. The siege has also triggered a globally unprecedented cholera outbreak claiming the lives of over 3,000 and infecting nearly one million.

This war wouldn’t be possible without military encouragement from the United States and their western allies. The UN remains silent as Saudi Arabia and their allies massacre Yemenis on a daily basis.
